Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse police Monday night announced the arrest of a 21-year-old city man they say shot and killed a man who recently moved to the area in 2012.

Shevockie Bloodworth, then 20, of Syracuse, also was shot, but survived. Lundy has not been charged with shooting Bloodworth, police said.

"There definitely was an ongoing dispute," Deputy Police Chief Shawn Broton said at a news conference Monday night. "Again, there were two people shot in this incident. There is no information we have our victim was specifically targeted, but there had been an ongoing dispute between our victim and the suspect."

Belle moved to Syracuse from Long Island about two months before his death, Broton said. Belle was originally from South Carolina.

Belle's fiancee, Latia Dockery, told The Post-Standard that he was on his way to get dinner for her when he was gunned down. Dockery and Belle moved to Syracuse for a job opportunity two months before Belle was killed, she said. The couple had two children, one of whom was born after his death. He was also helping raise her two older children.

After the shooting, witnesses gave police a description of a man who shot Belle, but police did not have any suspect names at the time, Broton said. Investigators also did not know the motive at the time, but they continued to talk to witnesses and review physical evidence from the scene, he said.

More than a year after Belle's homicide, in November, someone came forward and police "got a break in the case," Broton said. With the information from witnesses and the physical evidence, Broton said, investigators were able to arrest Lundy on Monday. He declined to comment on what the witnesses said or the physical evidence that helped lead to an arrest.

"The detectives spent hundreds of hours interviewing witnesses and were able to come up with enough information to arrest (Lundy) today," Broton said. "Mr. Lundy is well known to the police. He has been arrested numerous times before."

Lundy previously was charged with felony and misdemeanor assault charges unrelated to the October 2012 homicide, said Broton, who leads the Syracuse Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division.

In November 2009, Lundy was shot in the right bicep in the 2300 block of East Fayette Street, records show.

Lundy is scheduled to be arraigned on the murder charge at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in Syracuse City Court. His case will then go before a grand jury, police said.

Syracuse police have not yet released Lundy's mugshot because they are still showing it to witnesses, police Sgt. Thomas Connellan said.
